On Tuesday in Mexico City, WBC President Jose Sulaiman presented a champion’s belt to world featherweight champion Abner Mares after his victory against reigning titleholder champion Daniel Ponce De Leon.

“I have really wanted to fight in my country, for my people and now I don’t care so much about the money. I want to fight the best and I am ready to face Guillermo Rigondeaux among others,” stated Mares.
